Sun
Let X be the sun:
between number and number the rage star burning; Xanthic helllight, Sunflower atom-pisser, imaginary
ghost flower.
Starts with clot of ochre
Impasto sun-mould the ur-text in outline paradigm mud-pat
A child’s sun isotope of yellow wax its surface storms
Upstroke the sun’s sign
On papyrus whirlpool of x-rays
a violent flower at zero
Furious stalk the inferno uncodes and black it is black a black funeral
feather World-black negative dark flower Gamma plant blazer Anarchist icon
O common star Sulphur flower the light star’s dark grammar
Is hossanah breath and bone swastika Solomon’s Seal
At heart it reads off Signifier Sigma
Sonne sunne A sol-fa
its energy a base petal pions’ spore Morpheme it flashes out
Struck flint Mi
Mi
Mi
The dawn flower Alpha Aaron’s Rod Gospel gold-leaf
To liquid sets elixir the dusk rose Giaconda Will-o-wisp light text
Glows oil out plumes out
Marigold Madonna Yellow ink on paper
Its syntax figured
complex Flowering Kells Book wrought Of roots enchanted Carnival chromosome
Writhing writing Rag-and-bone strange rose Torch of anti-matter Old rope manuscript
Ultra-violet hieroglyph
but penned
Coded.
